so slowly making more progress!

Got the head back and i think i twas worth the wait. little bit peeved I didn't get a flow chart or a cc measurement of the combustion chambers which i thought would be pretty standard but o well at least its done and ready to bolt on!

IT will be fun when its done but the problem is in WA no one believes in customer service or getting a job done in a timely fashion..

unfortunately no it wont be ready for race wars to much work on at the moment but funnily enough i will have all of April to get it finished so im a month to late. Shame would have been some good competition, i wanted to see if i could max the new speedo i got for it.

The head work is care of Godzilla motorsports cnc programits not cheap but its a dam sight bettter and cheaper then some hand porting jobs!

I have all my parts pretty much now so i just have to wait to get some time off work to put it all together!

stay tuned though its gonna be wild!

No real update yet it's at the shop still it's almost finished! Ended up changing fuel system to run e85. See how this flex fuel thing goes!

Didn't realise how big the r type hks intercooler was till it was fitted, not a lot of clearance there!

I'll get some more pictures up shortly!

Yeh funny you should say that I had hoped to get it to racewars last year.. And here we are.

Well you will laugh at the gearbox selection.. I'm going to run the standard one at the moment. Can't make my mind up yet I was convinced a ppg rebuild would be the go but I decided if it was going to be dog box it has to be sequential but I would I was loosing sight of what the car is actually going to be used for! And that is to drive it to work everyday and the odd track day..

Simon is pushing 700whp through a standard box, however look at how he races and treats the box very gentle on the shifts and very smooth but still pretty quick shift.

he just hoards stock 32 R boxes at home.

i am chasing similar power and have opted for a 34 Getrag in my 32, slightly stronger, similar to yourself i want to keep it semi streetable so i didnt want a dog box.

Forget about a dog box for daily driving. Sequential would be a waste unless it was strictly a weekend + track car only. For 5-600rwhp the OS Giken kit or a helical PPG would be a better option. Although, the standard boxes can cop a fair amount of power.

Yeh I thought I would wait and see how long it lasts and exactly what breaks. I had thought the best option would be an os set with the billet plate and agy synchros so I'm trying to get onto the synchros at the moment and then build up the parts list from there. I've got a spare one anyways so there won't be much down time anyhow.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
